title: [Relationship between the body mass index, waist circumference and lipids levels among adults in Shenzhen].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the relationship between the body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and lipids levels, dyslipidemia among adults.
  
  
  METHODS
  Totally 12 communities from 8 districts were sampled through stratified randomized sampling, 75 households from each community were sampled by random sampling for questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Within different BMI categories, the triglyceride (TG) in higher BMI group were higher than in lower BMI group, and the high density lipoprotein-c (HDL-c) in higher BMI group were lower than in higher BMI group; Within different WC categories, the TG, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-c (LDL-c) in higher WC group were higher than in lower WC group. With the increase of BMI/WC, the levels of TG, TC and LDL-c showed a rising trend (P<0.05), HDL-c showed a falling trend (P<0.05). With the increase of BMI, the odds ratios (ORs) of high TG, high TC, low HDL-c, high LDL-c and dyslipidemia showed a rising trend (P<0.05), and with the increase of WC, the ORs of high TG, high TC, high LDL-c and dyslipidemia showed a rising trend (P<0.05). There were positive partial correlations between BMI/WC and TG, TC, HDL-c, LDL-c. HDL-c had a higher correlation with BMI (P<0.05), TC had a higher correlation with WC (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  BMI and WC were independently associated with blood lipids levels, and high BMI and WC were the risk factors for dyslipidemia.
